About Automated Sample Preparation For Dioxin
Automated sample preparation for dioxin entails a combination of extraction and clean-up processes for getting rid of interfering substances and concentrate the analytes of interest. Using solid-phase extraction (SPE) in conjunction with a liquid handling system is a typical technique for automating sample preparation. The majority of automated sample preparation processes traditionally include liquid handling, which use robotics to dispense and gather precise volumes of liquid for purposes like adding reagents or washing samples. Automated sample preparation for dioxin approaches employs gas chromatography (GC) with high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) detection for the analytical component.
Engineered for Versatility and DurabilityPurpose-built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and protected by a PTFE lining, the system is designed for long-term operation with aggressive organic solvents. The 30-position sample tray and fully automated handling ensure high throughput and consistent results, making it a reliable solution for routine laboratory workflows.
Safety-Focused and User-Centric DesignCritical safety features-such as automatic shutdown, leak alarms, and overpressure safeguards-provide reassurance during extended unattended runs. Its microprocessor-based automatic control, LCD touchscreen, and intuitive PC software allow users to operate, monitor, and export data with ease.
Optimized Cleaning and Solvent SavingsAutomated in-line cleaning streamlines maintenance and reduces downtime, while efficient solvent management minimizes waste and operational costs. The benchtop configuration is ideal for laboratory environments requiring precise, reproducible dioxin sample preparation.
